Posted By Philip McAleenan Gill, Have a look at what the Board of Certified Safety Professionals require, http://www.bcsp.org/bcsp...n=com_frontpage&Itemid=1 Regards, Philip

Posted By Hazel Harvey Gill, The Associate Safety Professional course would be of a similar level to a NEBOSH Certificate although because the Americans approach safety in a slightly different way to ourselves as they see it as more of an engineering discipline rather than the risk based approach we favour. The Board of Safety Professionals (BCSP) is the registration body for Certified Safety Professionals (CSP) and does not have members like IOSH whilst the ASSE is a membership body promoting safety as a discipline. IOSH actually does both. Our President will be signing a Memorandum of Association with the BCSP at the ASSE conference in a couple of weeks. This will mean that CMIOSH (in our new structure) will be able to apply for CSP registration after undertaking their comprehensive practice exam and CSP will be able to become CMIOSH after taking our new open exam which is currently under development for IPD. The ASP would be more like our new TechIOSH category. This will come into place following the introduction of the new IOSH membership structure in November so no applications yet please. There is more info. on the revised IOSH structure in competent to the core on the home page of this site.
